NICHOLS PITCHING DID IT
THE HOME CLUB DEFEATS THE
CAROLINIANS 8 TO 8.

Savannah Wins Her Third Game-The
Visitors Errors and Their Failure to
Hit Nichols Cause Their Defeat
Memphis and Nashville the Other
League Winners.
The home club won its third game of the
season yesterday from Charleston. Satur-
days game was so one-sided that very little
interest was taken in the rest of the series,
and not more than 800 people
went out to the park yesterday.
Tricky" Nichols pitching won the game
for Savannah. The team played together
much better than it did last week and batted
Drouby freely, SO that he had to be taken
out of the box and Barney"
Mclaughlin substituted. Nichols had
good control of the ball and
was very effective, the visitors getting
but nine hits, and four of these in the first
two innings Dallas played an errorless
game and gave Nichols excellent sup
port. DuImeyer's second base playing
was equal to any that has been seen here.
The visitors failed to hit Nichols, and fielded
poorly. League Umpire Diestel was
sick, and BILLY" Taylor umpired the
game. Although the visitors got the worst
of the umpiring that did not defeat them.
1t was Savannah's day to win. The follow
ing is the score:

THE CITY WITHOUT WATER.
The Supply Shut Off While Changes
Are Being Made at the Water Works

The Supply Shut Off While Changes
Are Being Made at the Water Works.
The city water supply was shut off at 10
o'clock last night, and will remain shut off
until noon to-day, for the purpose of con-
Meeting the mains with the big pumps at the
water works.
There was heavy demand for buckets
and tubs, and all sorts OF things that will
hold water last night, and the household
that did not have its reserve tanks filled be-
fore 10 O'Clock will ne likely to have trouble
in its culinary department to-day, unless
the general objection to well water is over
looked, and the supply is taken from the
pumps.
The city authorities took every precaution
to guard against fire The big tank in
Franklin square was filled, and Chief Fer
nandez had the firemen on duty so that in
event of the breaking out of a fire
it could be reached quickly and got
under control before gaining Roadway
The MORNING NEWS, whose engines run
all night, and require large water supply,
was one of the establishments most likely to
suffer by the ''shut off" Acting Mayor
SchwarZ, who is also chairman of the Fire
Committee, and Chief Fireman Fernandez,
had an engine ready to fill the big tanks on
the top of the MORNING NEWS building
from the river in case the supply should
fail, but their assistance was not needed
The street sprinklers will have rest this
morning, and the city will have to Ego
dusty" until the connections at the water
works are made. Supt Miller said last
night that the work will be finished and the
water turned on again by noon to-day.

HANDLING BAD COIN.
Arrest of a Darien Merchant Charged
With Passing Spurious Money.

Arrest of a Darien Merchant Charged
With Passing Spurious Money.
Charles Rothschild, a well-known mer-
chant of Darien, was before United States
Commissioner Il. G. Wade yesterday morn
ing on warrant charging him with passing
counterfeit money. G. J. Dowdy made the
affidavit on which the warrant was issued
Dowdy stated that in August, 1886, Roths-
child gave him three counterfeit silver dol
lars in change for a So bill. He says that
the pieces appeared all right at first, but
shortly turned black. 1t is also claimed
that Rothschild passed eleven coun-
terfeit silver dollars on Will
liam Ray at Darien last February.
| Rothschild and Dowdy had fight after
ward and the latter was jailed, He
| however, and these threats alarmed the
| former and he proposed TO w. A. Burkett
| that the latter should get the counterfeit
| dollars from Dowdy, and he (Rothschild)
would get Dowdy out of Jail. John John
son also made an affidavit to the effect that
he saw dollar piece that Ray told him he
got from Rothschild. 1t had the appear
! ance of silver but was soft like lead.

| in Telfair county and sold their lumber at
Darien Rothschild carries on large mer-
| chandizing business there and discounts
notes and loans money to the lumbermen.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY.
Some Points About a Training School,
for Nurses


We think the whole community will be
interested to know that some of the ladies
are endeavoring to organize a Training
School for Nurses in Savannah, modelled
more or less after similar institutions in
New York, New Haven, Philadelphia, and
other Northern cities. Wherever they ere
in successful operation they have proved an
inestimable blessing to the community, and
the want of some such thing has been sorely
felt here. Everyone who has had serious
and protracted illness in the family knows
the misery Of having to wear out ones
friends in such service and the great disad-
vantage to both the doctor and the patient
in a constant change of nurses.
Some of the leading physicians in the city
have already expressed their great interest
in the undertaking and their desire to rem
der every assistance in their power, and we
feel sure of the hearty cooperation of all
when the plan Is made known to them
Without that, indeed, success will be impos-
sible All who have experienced it, know
the comfort to physicians patients and
friends OF the services of trained, skillful
and responsible nurse, and if we can grad
uate a class of such each year, not Savannah
only, but the whole State will reap the ben
eft, for their services will be in demand
wherever sickness and sorrow are to be
found, and that is everywhere.
After the first two or three years the
school should be self-supporting, but in the
meantime it would have to depend upon the
liberality Of the community. Those who
feel interested viii have to express their
interest in practical way--but one which
may some day yield them better return
than any investment they ever made. The
following ladies compose the proposed board
of directresses:
Mrs. Leonard Bacon, Mrs. Charles Strong,
Mrs. George Mills, Mrs G.. NJ. Sorrel
Mrs. j. Wilder, Mrs Octav1ls Cohen, Jr
Mrs. Abram Minis, Mrs, f. y. Alexander,
Mrs. James Barnard, Mrs G.. Hull

Force. Andrews and Black, of the locals,
made home runs, as did Geiss, of the visit

that Nashville would have taken 500 and
indianapolis would have given $500, but
